The professionals who received the scholarships are from the Catholic University of the North (UCN), the University of Bío-Bío (UBB), the University of Concepción (UdeC), and the University of La Frontera (UFRO), respectively. This benefit for the scholarship recipients is made possible through a current Collaboration Agreement between the Council of Rectors and the Carolina Foundation of Spain.
Of the 6 applicants from the universities of the Council of Rectors to the 2016-2017 Scholarship Call of the Carolina Foundation, four obtained the benefit in a selection process that received 262 applications, of which 132 corresponded to Doctoral degrees and 130 to Short Post-Doctoral Stays.
The professionals who received funding to pursue their doctoral degrees are Eduardo Aguilar Torres from the Catholic University of the North; Xuksa Kramcsak Muñoz from the University of Concepción; and Jessica Fuentealba Quilodrán from the University of Bío Bío. Meanwhile, Pamela Andrea Mendoza Alonzo from the University of La Frontera received funding to carry out her short-term postdoctoral research stay.
The scholarship recipients will continue their studies and specialization at prominent Spanish institutions such as the University of Barcelona, Pompeu Fabra University, the University of Alcalá and Carlos III University.
It is worth noting that this call for scholarships is possible thanks to the current Collaboration Agreement between the Council of Rectors and the Carolina Foundation of Spain, which dates back to 2005, a benefit that can be accessed by all professionals or teachers from universities belonging to the CRUCH.
